The New York Post's editorial board offered a blunt response to Tuesday's bombshell news about the president's eldest son: "Donald Trump Jr. is an idiot."

Following multiple investigative reports by The New York Times, Trump Jr. tweeted emails on Tuesday morning that showed he met with a Kremlin-linked lawyer in June 2016 who promised damaging information obtained by the Russian government on presidential rival Hillary Clinton. In response to the offer, Trump Jr. emailed back, in part, "I love it."
